The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) ended the week in the green. The index closed Fridayâs session 0.23% higher at 7,151.8 points. That marks a week-on-week fall of 0.09%.
That was despite a weak performance from the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ). It slumped 0.4% amid tumbling oil prices.
The Brent crude oil price fell 3.3% to US$89.78 a barrel overnight and the US Nymex crude oil price dumped 4.6% to trade at US$81.64 a barrel.
Fortunately, the energy sectorâs suffering was offset by gains across the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index (ASX: XNJ), the S&P/ASX 200 Communications Index (ASX: XTJ), and the S&P/ASX 200 Utilities Index (ASX: XUJ). They lifted 0.9%, 0.8%, and 0.7% respectively
Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) traded flat amid news OZ Minerals Limited (ASX: OZL) will likely accept BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)âs increased takeover bid.
All in all, seven of the ASX 200âs 11 sectors closed in the green. But which share outperformed all others to close the week on a high? Keep reading to find out.
